HCV comes into the body through blood to blood contact. In an HCV support group many husbands or wives have it and the other one does not. It is not spread by sex. The virus is hard to kill. The HIV virus is killed by exposure to oxygen. The HCV virus is not. It can persist for a week. It can remain on a wall and be caught if someone with an open sore leans up against it. So do not lean up against a drop of blood on a wall. Cops can get it on a broken piece of glass. Nurses get it from a bloody needle. It can be spread by a shared razor. Six sisters shared one razor. They all nicked themselves. They all caught HCV. (They had exactly the same virus without any mutation.)

Will you die from Hepatitis C?

Yes, it is possible for your body to fight Hepatitis C(HCV), but the it remains in the body forever meaning that it could come back. When the body fights HCV it can lower the levels in your blood to almost undetectable. Though as I stated it is possible that at any time the levels could again increase. If your body fights it then you do not have chronic HCV, if the levels are high and do damage to the liver then they will tell you that you have chronic HCV. 30% of people with HCV are able to fight it off. REMEMBER THOUGH YOU MAY FIGHT IT AND YOUR LEVELS LOWER THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CURED.

Which are new Medici for hcv?

As of my last update in October 2023, new medications for Hepatitis C (HCV) include a variety of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents that have significantly improved treatment outcomes. Notable examples include pangenotypic regimens such as glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, which can treat multiple HCV genotypes with a shorter duration of therapy. Additionally, new formulations and combinations continue to emerge, enhancing treatment efficacy and accessibility. Always consult recent medical literature or healthcare professionals for the latest updates on HCV treatments.


What is anti hcv weakly positive?

A weakly positive anti-HCV result indicates the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the blood, suggesting possible exposure to the virus. However, it does not definitively confirm an active infection, as it may result from a past infection or a false positive. Further testing, such as HCV RNA testing, is typically required to assess whether the virus is currently present and to determine the appropriate clinical response. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for interpretation and next steps.


How long can hcv live outside the body?

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can survive outside the body for up to 16 hours to several days, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. It is primarily transmitted through direct blood-to-blood contact. Even though the virus can remain viable for a limited time on surfaces, it is generally considered less infectious outside the host compared to its transmission through bodily fluids. Proper disinfection can effectively inactivate the virus in various settings.
